Many organizations do not realize that the virtual networks that are part of Azure workloads need to be protected. McAfee understands the complexity of the public cloud and has designed a security architecture specifically for Azure.

Enterprises have evolved their data centers to include private clouds, and are now challenged to secure these environments. Breaches in these highly virtualized environments are difficult to detect and can go unnoticed far too long. Advanced analysis capabilities are needed to effectively improve detection of sophisticated advanced attacks within a private cloud. This technical whitepaper explains how.

As diverse as your cloud environment may be, if you are involved in overseeing or deploying cloud services at your organization, there is one inviolable truism you must keep in mind at all times: No matter how simple or complex your cloud deployments, you can never allow the security of your data or applications to be compromised in any way.

Many organizations do not realize that the virtual networks that are part of Amazon Web Services (AWS) workloads need to be protected. McAfee understands the complexity of the public cloud and has designed a security architecture specifically for AWS.

Like most global enterprises, your modern hybrid data center uses private and public cloud computing to deliver applications and workloads. This new infrastructure requires a protection strategy different from traditional server security. Elastic, cloud-native applications have unique security needs. Legacy on-premises security agents are not designed to perform at cloud scale and may have licensing models that are incompatible with elastic cloud workloads. Gartner provides their key findings and recommendations to security and risk management leaders for cloud workload protection platforms, including the use of risk-based models to prioritize evaluation criteria.

Aberdeen Group discusses the move to the public cloud and the security shared responsibility model that leverages the strengths of both the public cloud service providers (architecture and infrastructure at scale) and enterprises (applications and data) to provide the enterprise with stronger capabilities than could be achieved going at it alone.

With easily usable private clouds designed to run business-critical enterprise applications, leading organizations benefit from a simple and pain-free path to a reliable and optimized platform for their business infrastructure. This Aberdeen Research whitepaper shows you the way.

As hybrid clouds become increasingly complex, securing these complicated environments requires both an understanding of what makes them different and the use of solutions designed for the job. This white paper from ESG explores best practice for adopting the hybrid cloud.
